Trusted Referral Therapist
SWC, First Responder Counselor, Child of the Fire Service
My dad and stepdad were firefighters and fire chiefs, and I trained as an EMT myself. I grew up around the culture: the dark humor, the fierce loyalty, and the calls that become stories told again and again.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent more than 20 years in tech, working with executives and leading organizational change. I’ve seen what happens when capable people stay under pressure too long and when being the one everyone counts on leaves little room to be human. I eventually realized I cared most about helping people get back to what matters most to them. My clinical work draws on specialized training in complex trauma, Internal Family Systems (IFS), psychodrama, and evidence-based trauma therapies. The aim is to help you work through what you’ve carried and shift the patterns that are costing you, without losing the steadiness and drive that make you good at this job.
I won't ask you to leave your toughness at the door or hand you a breathing exercise and send you on your way. I want to understand your world, what you’ve been through, and what it’s costing you to keep going as if everything is fine.
You’ve spent a lot of time being the person others can count on. I’d be glad to show up for you. Reach out whenever you’re ready.
